Weblogs, more than a toy?

This document discusses the potential benefits of using weblogs, or blogs, for PhD students. It suggests that blogs can support self-determined and informal learning, help students structure and archive collected material for later retrieval, foster digital communities, and be integrated into daily life. Blogs represent both individual self-expression and collaboration. For these reasons, the document argues that PhD students should consider using blogs to support their research and learning during their studies.
